Hobbit feet and Frodo's sword in Lord of the Rings props auction

"It has been more than a decade since the first of the trilogy films was released and in that time only a handful of items from these films have ever been publicly offered for sale," Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions, said in a statement. "Demand for this memorabilia is extraordinarily high and the scale and quality of this remarkable collection is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans and collectors," he added. Sam's Hobbit ears are estimated to sell for $5,000-$8,000.
